Works well, read and write speed on my phone is good

The first thing I did with it was a capacity test via h2test to test capacity. Once I have been able to complete the review I will say that I have reviewed this micro SD card and it has a capacity of 256GB. Even during the test, this micro SD card didn't get very hot, but it got even warmer after the test finished. In the test there was nothing to worry about the good temperature and the authentic storage. I had a non-original card that got very hot, but this isn't one of them. The 256GB capacity is right and the transfer speed is decent, but it all depends on the medium you use for the transfer. Average transfer speeds on my USB 3.0 card reader were around 31 MB/s writing and 70 MB/s reading. This is slightly slower than other cards made on the same reader. It's definitely slower than other cards, but close to average performance. For most of my testing, I used a 3.0 card reader to get these readings. I was able to transfer everything (filling up the micro SD card) in just over two hours. This card doesn't need to be formatted, which is great. If you use this on your Switch, you just have to use plug and play. If you use this for your Tesla you will have formatting problems. Unfortunately I had to format it several times. I'm not sure why that is. It's just not supported, but the card works great outside of Tesla. It can contain multiple games that you can download from the Switch, which is nice. It has the general color of a micro SD card, which can make it difficult to spot if you happen to put it in storage since most micro SD cards are typically black. It works with any SD card adapter, which is very handy if you want to use it for your camera or smartphone. It comes with its own adapter that works like any other adapter. It works for any smartphone that can handle 256GB (which most modern phones can now). It can write fairly quickly so you don't have a huge lag between image or video. The problem is that when transferring (this is more of a problem with phones) the transfer can take quite a long time. I'm not sure why. Overall I think this is a good micro SD card. It's a good amount of storage and will run on almost any device that can use 256GB. The transmission speed is a bit below average and could definitely be better. Unfortunately, it doesn't work very well with Tesla either. Finally, note that the transmission speed depends on the medium.
